BOSTON (April 18, 2003 7:02 a.m. EDT) - A former Boston College
student accused of using special software to collect personal data on
thousands of fellow students, staff and faculty was sentenced to five
years of probation.

Douglas Boudreau, 22, of Warwick, R.I., pleaded guilty Thursday to
interception of wire communications, unauthorized access to a computer
system, larceny, identity fraud and other charges.

After collecting the personal information, Boudreau reconfigured his
own campus ID card to make purchases and illegally enter school
buildings, Attorney General Tom Reilly said.

He used the newly encoded cards at the book store, dining hall, and
laundry rooms, stealing about $2,000 in goods and services.

In addition to the probation, Judge Carol S. Ball ordered Boudreau to
go into counseling, pay back the school and agree to computer
monitoring.

No telephone number was listed for a Douglas Boudreau in Warwick.
